リュウキュウツチトリモチ
リュウキュウツチトリモチの季節がやってきました。
Balanophora all over the place. Feels a little earlier than last year.
It pushes aside soil and dead leaves to poke its face above ground.

カンムリワシ幼鳥8個体目
きょうは、カンムリワシの幼鳥が3羽観察できました。撮影地の名蔵の水田地帯は、幼鳥が数羽で入れ替わり立ち替わり。多い時で4羽いたそうです。
For a moment it did something like a hover. After that, it was eating something in the grass.
A Crested Serpent Eagle I photographed together with my mentor. Unfortunately a white pole crept into the background, so I had to crop. ^^;
Incidentally, my mentor has confirmed 12 individual juvenile birds. Impressive.
I thought they were going to fight, but it was resolved peacefully.
When the Crested Serpent Eagle flew, red bee-like insects flew up from the ground. The red thing visible just below and to the right of the eagle is one of them. I wonder what they are?
I let my guard down and it crossed right alongside the car. ^^;
Only one adult.

アカハラ、ジョウビタキ(動画あり)
シロハラに少し遅れてアカハラも入ってきました。ジョウビタキは感じのいい石の上から餌を探したり、たまに囀ったりしていました。
600mm lens with a 2× teleconverter — 1200mm. Shutter speed was 1/80, so all I could do was try to keep it steady.
There are lots of Naumann's Thrushes in lawns and along rice paddy ridges.

オシドリ(動画あり)
オシドリが4羽渡ってきていました。^^ 近くにはオオバンもたくさん渡ってきています。
The two on either side are males; the two in the middle are females.
It was relaxed, stretching and so on.
After coming ashore and preening, the female fell asleep.
Nearby was a flock of Eurasian Coots.

鳥が少ない季節です。カンムリワシが観察できるのがせめてもの救いでしょうか。^^;
It seemed to be searching for crabs in the mangrove forest.
